MILLER TRIAL
HAS NIGHT
SESSION
The stubborn battle dally feat
uring the trial of Peter Miller,
charged with burglary, with the
opposing counsel fighting every
inch of the way, made it neces
sary yesterday for Judge Clif
ford to call night sessions. The
first one was held last night with
Wlllia Taylor, the boy accom
plice, on the stand. Taylor made
startling disclosures as to tne
method in which affidavits refut
ing testimony given by him In
former trials had been secured
by Judge Glasgow, attorney for
Miller.
Taylor's testimony showed that
Orasgow had persuaded him to
make this affidavit on the pre
tense that it was only to assist
the boy in clearing up his reputa
tion after his trial for burglary.
He said Louis Engstroin had
forced his way into his confid
ence, become his roommate, and
filially led him to Glasgow for "a
little legal advice." When Glas
gow advised him to make an af
fidavit declaring all his testimony
in former trials false, he did so
believing lie was clearing his
name.
UNKNOWN
SUICIDE
An unknown man, whose ap
pearance suggests that he was a
skilled laborer, is dead today
from carbolic acid poisoning,
county hospital authorities fail
ing to save his life when he was
taken there last night by the po
lice.
He wa 8 found in the rear or
the Anaconda saloon, 1401 Pa
cific avenue, about 9 o'clock last
evening. Froth foamed from his
mouth and he was unconscious
when rushed to the hospital. Dr.
McCreery pronounced the man a
suicide a few minutes later.
The remains were taken to
Mellinger's parlors. H« was
about 5 5 years old, 5 feet 4
inches tall, and weighed a"bout
140 pounds. He wore a brown
coat with a black stripe, a blue
serge vest, striped trousers, and
a blue flannel shirt. He vras
smooth shaven.
COOK SPEAKS TO
BUSINESS MEN
Dr. Frederick W. Cook spoke
to a company of business man at
the Commercial cluT> yesterday
even if Mayor Seymour would not
attend. Those present came away
inclined to give Cook a square
deal. m He threw some light on
the National Geographical society
by Indicating that It was la tne
control of friends of Peary and
that the board appointed tf> con
sider the Cook-Peary explorations
were all Peary partisans. Their
report, therefore. Is could be B een,
reflected their own desires.

WATERFRONT
PROBE SURE
OF DELAY
OL.YMPIA, Wash., Jan. 24.—
That the resolution of Rep.
Houser calling for an investiga
tion of the waterfront monopoly
in Seattle, Tacoma and otner
cities in the northwest will be ap
plied steam roller tactics was in
dicated in Speaker Taylor's se
lection of a committee to look Into
the merits of the probe, yester
day.
The following committee was
appointed after a long debate:
Sam Sumner, Chelan; W. J.
Hughes, Whatcom; Francis P.
Gobs, King.
Taken by surprise on Wednes
day when Houser made his sen
sational charges against the Mc-
Graw harbor line commission and
revealed the fact that no dock
company on lease state barbor
lands (and moßt of them are on
such property), the leaders of
the "unholy alliance," after se
curing 24 hours' delay, caucused
and formulated their mode of
campaign to prevent an Investiga
tion.
TAKE THIS MAN'S ADVICE
Try the Great Kidney
Remedy
It always gives me pleasure to
rocommend anything that is right
and so I feel it my duty to herald
the praises ot Dr. Kilmer's Swams-
Root.
For years I was troubled with
Kidney disease and it was so In
tense that I was bedridden for days
at a time. I gave up all hope and
doctors for mllps around gave me
no help. Incidentally I tried sev
eral patent remedies and at last
tried Swamp-Root. From the first
it gave me relief and it was no
time before I was able to be up
anrl around nnd now I am perfectly
well and able to work as I used to
before my terrible sickness.
So now let me thank you for
your wonderful discovery and tnkr
this opportunity to reoommond it
to all who suffer from kidney
troubles.
Yours very truly,
WALTEH SHIRVER,

STILL WORKING
ON PEDERSON
CONTRACT
The city council, Hans Peder
son, his bondsman, his attorney
and all the engineers who had
anything to do with the Nlgqually
power plant job, including H. F.
Gronen, who was called In on the
conference, spent the whole aft
ernoon yesterday trying to adjust
the amount of money the city 1b
to pay Pederson to settle up.
Pederson thinks $108,001) Is
about right. Nick Lawion's engi
neers figure $61,039 is the
proper figure.
There is a big difference on the
amount of ground heaped up
around the reservoir walls. Ped
eraon also claims $12,000 more
than the city figures on the
tramway. He asked $27,000 ex
tra on the powerhouse founda
tion.
After several hours the con
ference ended with nothing set
tled.
The city is now hinting it may
charge up demurrage for failure
to finish the job on time. At $250
a day this would hit Pederson
for about $50,000.

M'QUESTEN
LOSES OUT
OLYMPTA, Waßh., Jan. 2.4 —
Rep. A. M. Bryant, progressive
of Pierce county, will retain his
seat in tlio state legislature as a
result of the contest of Ex-Rep.
McQuesten, republican.
Progressive members had pre
dicted that Speaker Taylor aid
the members of the "unholy al
liance" would unseat the Pierce
county man because of the lat
ter'a attitude during the opening
days of the legislature, and there
was quite a surprise in the ranKs
of the bull moose camp when the
legislative cnmiuittee merely re
duced Bryant's plurality to 9
votes.
The election committee made
its reiort to the house today.

Makes Rheumatism
Promptly Disappear
Chronic, Crlppled-np Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses of
New Kerned}' arc Taken.
It Is needless to suffer any
longer with rheumatism, and be
all crippled up, and bent out of
shape with its heart-wrenching
pains, when you can surely avoid
it.
Rheumatism comes from weak,
inactive kidneys, that fail to fil
ter from the blood, the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid; and
it is useless to rib on liniments
or take ordinary remedies to re
lieve the pain. This only pro
longs the misery and can't possi
bly cure you.
The only way to cure rheuma
tism is to remove the cause. The
new discovery, Croxone, does this
because it neutralizes and dis
solves all the poisonous sub
stances and uric acid that lodge
in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause
rheumatism, and cleans out and
strength-ens the stoppod-up, inact
ive kidneys, so they can filter all
the polKon from the blood, and
drive it on and out of the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine over mado for curing
chronic rheumatism, kidney trou
bles, anid bladder disorders. You
will find it different from all oth
er remedies. There is nothing
else on earth like it. It matters
not how old you are. or how
long you have suffered, it is prac
tically impossible to take it into
the human system without results.
You will 1 find relief from the first
few doses, and you will be sur
prised how quickly all your mis
ery and suffering will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any first-class
drug store. All druggists are au
thorized to sell it on a positive
money-back guarantee. Three
dosea a day for a few days is
often all that Is over needed to
cure the worst backache or over
come urinary disorders.
